inferior

If you feel a stranger

Ask your heart what it longs for

Center yourself deep within

The answer

Step into the timeless

Feel all of nature as your kin

Drop out of the mind

And onto the earth

Open your eyes to the miracles that

Surround you

Let go of entrapment

Be as present as you can

Even as these waves and waves of past memories

Try to drag you back

Know your heart

Do not let it become a stranger

Trust in what you feel

And where you find

Innocence

Even as those who seem to think they know better

Mock it

Devalue it

Dismiss it as

Somehow beneath them

Or

Inferior
